News: Twitter blocking automated bookmark sites
I read the following at: Our final Tweet | Social Bookmarking and News
Just so that everyone is clear, Twitter was never a social bookmark site... Twitter is a micro-blogging site...
Whether we in the IM community would like to admit it or not, the distinction should be clear and obvious...
I am sure that we will be barraged the next few days by posts from other services, and a slew of new articles, about how Twitter is anti-commercial...
All I have to say about that is, Duh....
Your thoughts...

Our final Tweet For those of you who have tried bookmarking in the past half hour, you may have noticed that all your efforts were taking you to Twitter . This is because they have updated their code to the point where not only can we not access their site anymore via Social Marker, but it also interrupts our whole bookmarking process. As such, we've had to remove it from our list of bookmarking sites. We don't intend to contact them, as we are still waiting for a response from the StumbleUpon staff, 4 months after we sent them an email, and expect efforts with Twitter to be equally fruitless. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but rest assured, this was our last resort! To those who have unsuccessfully tried bookmarking, thank you for your patience with us! You are now able to bookmark again! |
